Update: Sister

I have talked to her a couple times.  The first conversation was pretty emotional.  She *seems* like she's doing well, but of course it's hard to tell over the phone.  She was able to go home for a bit this weekend and now she's back at the hospital.  Not sure how much longer she'll be there.

I'm really worried about my mom.  She's trying to act like everything is OK, which of course it's not.  She's alone up there.  I know that she's just trying to not have me worry, but I only worry more.  I hate that I'm so far away.

My mom just booked flights for them to visit in 2 1/2 weeks.  I can't wait to see them!

Thank you for all the thoughts/prayers.

Re: Update: Sister

  • I am so glad your sister is getting help and seems to be doing better.  It's so hard to be so far away from family at times like this.  I know you will be excited to see them.

  • I'm sorry Steph. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is on your family. I hope you have a nice family visit.

  • I am so glad that your sister is getting help. Your parents coming to see you will give them a break from your sister and hopefully come back refreshed.

  • I can only imagine that heart ache this caused the whole family. It is good that your sister seems to be getting better. It is always hard being so far away the visit will be great for all of you. I will keep your sisters in my prayers as she gets the help she needs.

  • Glad to hear that your sister is doing much better. Hope your visit goes well. It is hard being away from family, especially when they need you.
  • I'm glad to hear that you sister is doing somewhat better.

    Tell your mom what you told us.  That her pretending to be fine so you don't get stressed only stresses you out more.

    If you sister needs some help getting settled in the area, I know I'm older and a total stranger to her, but my work is only 30-40 minutes out of Georgetown and I've got some friends in the city, we can try and help.

    We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

  • I'll keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers but I'm glad to hear she is doing a little better.

    It's so hard when you're younger to realize that things will get better.  Just surround her with love.

  • I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this. I really hope that visiting you helps your sister to get better.

    that's a great idea.

    when you're all together, you might want to suggest a group/family counseling session.  certainly, your sister needs to talk about her feelings, but you and your mom need to discuss how this situation made you feel as well. maybe after getting all of that out in the open, you'll better know how to support/help each other.
